After careful consideration, too much alcohol, a small fire and Buster getting arrested, we realized nobody wished you a happy Thanksgiving. <br /><br />Since I was last to leave, I'm responsible for the task. <br /><br />HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!<br /><br />Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15969361446367636746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961111.post-49728906424020525552013-11-24T09:33:19.485-06:002013-11-24T09:33:19.485-06:00I think you've still got a lot of stories left...I think you've still got a lot of stories left in you, Jeffro, that people want to hear so I hope you can hold on to that foot. If you can't I guess I'd be thinking, well it's my left foot so I'll still be able to drive an automatic.<br /><br />I can appreciate the difficulty of trying to change eating habits that have worked well over a lifetime. You're not a worn out old geezer, though. Your life force is coming through loud and clear on The Poor Farm. But it looks like freezing rain changing to snow and you're coming into a sharp curve with a full load much faster than you should be. It would be the end for a lot of drivers but if anyone can get through it I think you can.

So this second post has a link for the particular talk that Gary Taubes gave that made me think he knew what he was talking about: ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6vpFV6Wkl4 ... I hope that comes through, if not:<br /><br />http : / / www . youtube . com / watch ? v = M6vpFV6Wkl4 ... just removed the spaces and you should be able to reassemble the link. Good luck, man.No.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06106246336015549834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961111.post-27248701523587125822013-11-23T23:53:55.781-06:002013-11-23T23:53:55.781-06:00Jeffro ... man, I've been there, and though I ...Jeffro ... man, I've been there, and though I didn't approach that level of a bad look (most I got to was 479 lbs, at 6'2"), I had the whole schmere from swollen ankles and shortness of breath if I took a few steps, etc. I was under consideration for a lap band or gastric bypass. Year before last I was almost pre-diabetic.<br /><br />Then I remembered some books recommended over at Instapundit, a couple of books by the author <b>Gary Taubes</b>, and ordered both of them from Amazon(dot)com. The first one, and the one I'd really recommend, is <b>"Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It"</b> ... it covers the same ground as the second book <b>"Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health"</b>, which is a lot more technical. But both cover the same ground.<br /><br />I know, I bought and read both of them. Then I took the advice in them and changed to a better diet, and I lost 60-70lbs in the first six months. Easiest weight I ever took off. I recommend both books, but I really really really recommend the first one, <b>"Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It"</b>.<br /><br />In the mean time, if you order a book or two and are waiting for them, you can check out <b>Gary Taubes</b> on YouTube, there are some very good video talks he's given with a lot of the same info in it. Please at least check them out.<br /><br />Guy I know just had to have his foot surgically removed as a result of such things. You don't want that, I'm sure. So please, please, please take a look at the stuff by <b>Gary Taubes</b>. If you let it, it'll change your life. :)No.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06106246336015549834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961111.post-89587534050793275452013-11-23T10:40:18.537-06:002013-11-23T10:40:18.537-06:00Dang it Nephu, that foot looks like you've bee...Dang it Nephu, that foot looks like you've been walking over the coals of hell. I think you have really poor circulation in your feet because of the water retention. This makes wounds really slow to heal. I've been there. Your resolve to do something is commendable and I think you really mean it this time. Stomach banding has really worked for a friend in Texas. He and his wife both had it done and have lost 184lbs collectively. I have lost 30lbs since Jan 1st by using a smart phone app called "Lose it". If you have a smart phone--check it out. Really works for me.<br /><br />If you'll permit me to speak like a grumpy old Uncle, "Pump up your intestinal(no pun intended)<br />fortitude this time and do it!" We want you around a few more years--and you certainly don't want to check our before you old Uncle does--how embarrassing! Let me know if I can help.

As always, thanks for the visual. ;)<br /><br />Hope they get you fixed up quick, and on to a program that works. Driving to Wichita ain't so bad, is it?
